Pittsburgh Pirates - The Pirates are trying to bring respectability back to the NL East. They are currently leading the division 38 games into the season. Recently they took 2 of 3 against the Brewers and Marlins. After winning only 68 games last season the Pirates look poised to make a playoff run in Firesigns third season with the team.
Texas Rangers - Although they are a probably long shot to make the playoffs, sox2424 looks to have turned this team around. They recently swept the AL East leading Yankees, and are on pace for record over .500. This is a great turn around for team that only won 54 games last season.
Houston Astros - Like or hate him kingjohndeville has turned the Astros into a contender. The Astros are only 2 games out of NL South. They recently swept the Brewers and took 2 out of 3 against the Mayhem. The real question is whether they can this pace up all season. A division title could be tough in a division that contains teams like the Swingers and Marlins. A wild card spot could be just as difficult with teams like the surging Brewers and Cubs in the NL.
Austin Deuce Droppers - It may be a stretch to call them a surprise team after their 4 straight titles, but after a disappointing last season they are back on top of the AL. Last season they missed the playoffs, this season their on pace to win over 110 games. An injury to key player could stop their quest for a fifth title, but right now they are the team to beat in the AL.
